Sheen Killed hr lightning.

One of the most terrible instances of
the destructive force of lightning ever
recorded has happened at the farm of
Biesjesdam, in the division Of Victoria
West Cape Colony. One evening
flock of /, 43O ewes, belonging to Mr..
Thompson, the owner of the farm, came
round small building for shelter, as it
was raining hard. The lightning, which
for some time had been terrific, struck
the building, tearing and smashing
doors and walls, and killing in an instant
700 out of the flock of l, ,43O sheep.
After this frightful loss Mr.. Thompson
was busted with eighteen men for no less
than three days skinning the dead sheep
Storms in South Africa are remarkable
for their force and vehemence. The
Transyaal in particular, a. Mr.. Rider
Haggard has told us, is often visited, and
fatal accidents, both TO beasts and human
kind, are not uncommon. Such an in
stance of wholesale destruction by light
ming is, however, unprecedented Pail

FARM AND GARDEN.
To Make Deep Mixers.

The time when COWS are made md
spoiled is when heifers arc approaching
calving with their first calves, and for
six months thereafter A heifer should
be well fed on nutritious, growing food,
roots, bran and some strong meal, corn,
oats, cotton seed etc, besides hay and
stalks. She should have daily exercise,
and when she comes to the stall should
be handled, the udder kneaded, rubbed,
and the milk veins traced their whole
length She will learn to like this, and
1t produces pleasant excitement about
the parts, tendency of blood to tine
milk glands, their growth, and an in
creased tendency to give milk. After
calving when she settles down to milk
ing, she should, have strong-milking
food, in which wheat bran should be a
constant and an abundant constituent.
The aim should be rather to cause a
larger flows than much fat secretion.
The heifer is herself growing rapidly,
Many of the constituents of the milk are
needed for her own increasing frame,
but the flow of milk must be kept up and
she should be MIXED almost up to her
next calving. - ColeNeJ Weld, an Ddirmdn.

A Lion Snaps or a Mans Head.

Not week passes without some hor-
rlble accident in menageTie. Yester-
day tanner named Agop, who was max
ing his beasts perform before a large
crowd at the fair of Rourges, was sud
denly knocked down by blow from the
paw of one of the animals. Half of the
unfortunate mans skull was snapped of
almost instantaneously by the terrible
brute, and his spinal column was cracked
in twain as though it had been a dry
twig. This is the most appalling of any
of the menagerie accidents which have
occurred for a long time, either in Paris
or in the provinces. 1t is quite probable,
however, that Paris may yet be startled
by similar atrocity if amateur lion
tanners or hysterical females be allowed
to enter the dens of wild beasts. The
experiments on the hypnotised woman
who entered the cage at the Folies Ber-
CERES have already been detailed, but
they have been eclipsed by the perform
ance Of a woman who actually entered
one of the cages in NJ Bidel's menagerie
at Neuilly and kept lion in momentary
quietude by the magnetic force of "two
lovely black eyes. "
Luckily the daring venture Of the dark
eyed damOzel did not last long, and she
escaped without having left her limbs in
the mouth of the ex-monarch of the for
ests called Sultan. Her exploit was
vociferously cheered by crowd OF
mashers who had expressly attended to
see the strange spectacle. London Stand

Farm and Garden Notes.

Never forget to salt and water your
stock regularly.
Better uproot old, played out fruit gar
dens. The land is wasted.
Glycerine and sulphur mixed are good
for gapes in your chickens.
The red onion is said to hold its flavor
longer than any other variety.
Feed Indian corn sparingly to fowls at
this season, as it is too fattening.
Glover pasture increases the milk Weld
in cows and makes yellow butter
The earth around potted plants should
not be allowed to get entirely dry.
Queen bees should always be raised
from the very best stock in the apiary.
Raise some variety of popcorn with
very small kernels for the young chicks.
Impure air in the hennery causes
many of the finest fowls to sicken and
die.
Don't grow fruit or vegetables too
thick; thinning out improves size and
quality.
To destroy briars, elders, etc., cut
them down now, and as often as they
reappear
The man who warns himself up every
morning grooming his horses will be well
remunerated for his trouble.
A new, cheap and effective insect

potash in l., 900 parts of water.
There is no one thing that is so much
required nowadays on the average farm
as to thoroughly systematic labor
Sluggish horses arc generally made Sc
| by the way they are handled. A LAZY
man is pretty sure to have lazy horses.
Raw onions chopped fine and mixed

elsewhere.
Pure linseed oil is claimed as the best
remedy for pear blight, though it canno
be wholly relied upon when the trees ar
well under way with the disease.
Fine hay or cut or well broken straw

An Oriental Palace.

The Sultan of Johore has a wonderful
palace near Singapore. I's wealth and
beauty rival the "krl1ian Nights" tales
of splendor; and he is always willing to
show his marvels to the many strangers
touching at his shore. He entertains his
guests at meals with food served in golden
vessels, which service cost 500, 900. The
regalia he wears is valued at $500, 600; a
sword Queen Victoria presented cost the
neat sum of $50, 0O0.-DetrOn Free Pres.

When TO Pick Fruit.

When fruits are mature, they make
preparation Tor falling, Just as mature
leaves do. A distinct line is formed upon
the stem of the fruit, in preparation for
the separation. When the apple or pear
is mature, 1t will separate from the tree
without any pulling; mere lifting the
fruit from its hanging position to a hori.
zontal one, will cause the separation from
the tree to take place at once. A little
observation will teach when the fruit is
ready to be gathered At this time, the
fruit having made its growth, derives
nothing more from the tree. After the
fruit is full-grown, its next step is toward
decay. Decay in early kinds comes in a
few days or Weeks. In the late sorts it
requifes several months, but whether
early or late, there is stage in this prog.
gress from maturity to decay, when the
fruit best suits our purpose, and we say,
that is ripe" or mellow or Gin cat
ing" This time in early kinds comes
very quickly, and other varieties do not
assume it before spring. Early kinds
come Into eating condition" so soon,
that they will bear but little transporta-
tion, hence are suited only to near mar
kets. But these vary greatly, and there
are from very carly and autumn ripening
kinds, to the very latest. The fruit
grower should be careful observer of
these points. The best fruit may be
spoiled or materially deprecated in value
by careless picking and handling. Prop
erly constructed cold storage houses will
do much toward keeping fruit in good
condition, but unless the fruit is picked
at the right time, it cannot be kept prof.
itably even in the best fruit house
